Patti,
Is it possible to set default values for a new user profile?
For their group subscription yes, but not for their login profile.
For example our group is local, I would like to have their time zone
default to Eastern time so that the calendar shows the correct times.
I think that should happen automatically. If the user hasn't set a timezone (e.g. first login) the site attempts to determine their location from their IP address.
